"Look, I'm not one to gossip; it's not my nature. Truth? Truth! Now, that's my nature." We watched "Trick" from 1999 with our friend Jake Szczepaniak, and we need to borrow your apartment for 20 minutes... okay, maybe 45. Now, this is a movie that really made us gay! This movie instantly transports us to the '90s in New York City, pre-hookup apps, pre-“RuPaul's Drag Race", and pre-PrEP. If you got cruised on the subway, you had mere moments to make a decision that could drastically change your life, and this time capsule of a movie captures those days perfectly. Christian Campbell (yes, Neve's brother) and JP PItoc are adorable as our two leads just trying to find a spot to get busy during one crazy night in the city. Tori Spelling is mega-charming (and funny!) as the dizzy theater-girl best friend, and the one and only Miss Coco Peru delivers one of the most memorable monologues in gay movie history. All you have to say is "It Buuuuuurns," and if they get it, you're in good company.
